Waiting For the Diagnosis

Waiting For the Diagnosis

 

I ran two red lights today.

No one else seemed to mind.

As if they agreed that

I shouldn’t have to wait for anything else.

 

The angst reached my toes,

Pulling me away from pushing the

Pedal against the floor.

 

Sliding on my shades,

I wait for the world to

Change to polarized view,

But you can’t dim

What is already turned off.

 

Staring, gaping mouth,

I come to.

Realizing that I should be listening.

Those are words after all.

What meaning can they possibly hold?

 

Are you tired?

Yes.

Are you worried?

Yes.

 

I planted a flower today.

Dirt squeezed in tight

Under my fingernails.

 

I ate crispy granola and creamy yogurt.

The blueberries washed sweet

against my cheek.

 

The phone sat silent on the counter.

No answers.

Again.
